The US government just ordered Anthropic to pull Fable 5 and Mythos 5 — for all users, not just foreign nationals. A model available to hundreds of millions of people went dark mid-afternoon on a Tuesday with no advance notice. Not because it stopped working. Because of a government directive citing a potential jailbreak.

That's the story I didn't expect to be covering this week. But it's also the clearest argument yet for why model-specific optimization is a strategy built on sand.

In this episode:

• What actually happened with Fable 5 and Mythos 5 — and why this matters more as a strategic signal than a product update
• Why building your AI visibility strategy around any specific model puts you at risk you can't control
• Bing Webmaster Tools' four new AI reporting features — Intents, Topics, Citation Share, and Compare — and how to actually use them
• How to map the new Bing reporting to the FSA Framework (Freshness, Structure, Authority) so the data tells you something actionable
• Why AI visibility still has no click-through data, and what we're measuring instead
• A new study of 20,000 ChatGPT responses found that 80% of product recommendations change when search is enabled — and why that number should reframe how you think about content freshness

If you're listening to this and thinking I need someone to lead this for me, that's what I do.
